3.7L badge isn't bad. It's not like you're asking to put in on a 3.5L. Now that would get you a lot of haters haha. However, I wouldn't put too many badges on it. It may look crowded and out of place. Maybe if it's on the other side of the trunk to balance it out. Just my thoughts. Post pictures if you pull the trigger.

Agreed with potmilks.
Ever wonder why we don't have v6 badges? Cuz all of them are 6 cylinders. Shawd denotes 3.7 liters amongst the lowly 3.5 liter engine.

It's not a 6.6 or even a 5.0, no reason to boast about a V6 IMHO. The Q 50 has a 3.7 badge that many on the Q board have removed,

i think it's a cool idea, but unless you're willing to remove other emblems on the trunk it will look crowded. i wouldn't go for it

As stated the 3.5 is the engine used in fwd models.

Second note is that nobody aside from you cares what size engine the car has. Most people don't know the difference between a base model mustang and a Shelby gt 500 when they see them in the road. It's a mustang, that's all they know.

Ron, I personally wouldn't do it. But at the end of the day, it should be about what you like. I'd say go for it... And just remove it later if you change your mind... Simple fix. You can also consider debadging the rest and just have the "A" in the middle and the 3.7 on the side. That'd be different.

Who would even notice the 3.7 badge there? Better yet, who would even care?

As baffling as it is to me why you would want to add this to your TL, it's even more mind boggling that a Mustang owner would want it. Why would they advertise that they bought the lower level Mustang?!?!

Less is more when it comes to emblems!

The new 3.7 has a lot of mustang fans drooling over on the mustang forums. For people that know the difference between a base, GT and the HIPO versions available a 3.7 is in all cases a 3.7. These new 3.7 are easily modded and very tuner friendly, guys are pushing these cars into the low 12's and high 11's with minimal cost. If you took a base 3.7 and a GT that were optioned out the same except for the engine of course, you would have a 5 grand difference in price. That 5 grand can be put into the car and make it faster than a GT. Now you have a sleeper, if you can call a mustang a sleeper. Guys are pushing upwards of 500 hp in these cars.

^ I don't know... I was a kid from the 90's and it's probably an outdated opinion but a Mustang isn't a Mustang unless it has a V-8
Heck... my old 97 GT was referenced as a neutered Mustang because of the 4.6L

I feel the same exact way, but the way fuel economy is going and with the push of smaller engines, those days might be numbered. I wouldn't call the 4.6 neutered, because the old 5.0 wasn't really a 5.0, it was more like 4.8, but that didn't sounds as good. I had two 4.6 Cobras and they had plenty of power coming from that 4.6.

Exactly! I don't know about the Cobra's but the 4.6 in the GT in stock form did not have that exhaust note that the 5.0's had.
Til this day... love the sound of that rumble of that 5.0 V-8

The new Coyote motors sound amazing, even better than the old 5.0. The Cobras had a different exhaust not as they were DOHC and 32 valves. Sounded more exotic I guess, but not like a Ferrari or Lamborghini.
